Recap (Aug 27 2009): Mountain biking!

The first thing we wanted to do was mountain biking. So, we went to stock up on water and power bars and headed for the Slickrock trail right outside Moab.

Just before hell - we are ready to do the trail.

Looks slow... I was... Climbing the hills was not only about keeping the speed but also about keeping the balance, because the last third of the climb would always be in the lowest gear....

Ups - I was not able to fix my chain. The shop actually had to come out with a new bike...
